Julius Caesar - Any thoughts on Brutus and Cassius?
Harold Godwinson - an easy victory over the Vikings at Stamford Bridge - but it was one in the eye for you here, wasn't it?
Richard III - There's never a horse when you need one, is there? Where do you think you'll go from here?
Anne Boleyn - From quiet country girl to Queen of England. Would you say your head's on the block?
Juliet - How ironic was that?
Charles I - If you're God's chosen - he's not doing you any favours is he?

Adolf Hitler - Berlin's in ruins and you're moving imaginary tank regiments around on a map. How do you rate your chances?
